Availability: 10 in stock
A wine that boasts delicate aromas of red berries, grape skins, sweet spices and almonds. A wine where the alcohol does not stand out, but is pleasantly integrated into the structure. The wine is sweet, warm, yet full-bodied with a persistent, accentuated, elegant flavour.
Macvin du Jura is produced by fortifying the unfermented must of the poulsard variety with Marc du Jura - a local brandy made from the pomace. The addition of alcohol prevents the fermentation of the sugar in the must. This produces a naturally sweet 'wine' which is matured in barrels for 24 months, which enriches the wine with softness and notes of sweet spices.

Domaine Rolet is considered one of the leading wine houses in the Jura region of France. Their mission is to offer wines that reflect the richness of the terroir through unique wine varieties found only here. Thus, their varietal composition consists of white Savagnin (the prestigious variety used to produce the oxidative Vin Jaune) and Chardonnay (the most planted variety in the Jura), and among the reds, Trosseau, Poulsard and Blue Pinot. The estate is the fruit of the efforts of three families with a rich tradition of viticulture, catering and entrepreneurship; the Devillards (a Burgundian family of vignerons, 5th generation and owners of the Château de Chamirey in Mercurey, the Domaine des Perdrix in the Côte de Nuits, the Domaine de la Ferté in Givry and the Domaine de la Garenne in Mâconnais), the Flamberts (several generations of hoteliers) and the Dupuis (entrepreneurs). Domaine Rolet is famous for its red varietal wines, for which they have established themselves as true pioneers. This is one of the reasons why they are respected by connoisseurs, connoisseurs and renowned wine critics worldwide and at home. Respect earned through strict care of the vineyards, low vine pressure and harvesting of optimally ripe grapes. They currently cultivate 65 hectares of vineyards, of which 40 are located in Arbois, 23 in Côtes du Jura, 2.43 in the prestigious l'Etoile appellation and 32 acres in Château-Chalon. The vineyards are farmed according to low-intervention principles, and several of them are also undergoing organic certification. The average age of their vines is a respectable 45 years.
